Lakdawala Cyrus. Opening Repertoire: Richter-Veresov Attack

London: Everyman Chess, 2022. — 416 p. — ISBN: 978-1781946817.The Richter-Veresov Attack is characterized by the moves 1 d4, 2 Nc3 and 3 Bg5. It is a great system for players who want to take their opponents away from well-known theory, force them into unfamiliar situations and make them fight on their resources. There are various modern interpretations of the Richter-Veresov Attack which usual involve White playing f3 at some point. However, in this book, the highly experienced chess author and coach Cyrus Lakdawala focuses on the traditional treatment which generally eschews f3 in favor of more classical development with moves such as Nf3, e3 or even Qf3.
